This subfield involves the development and deployment of innovative and advanced technologies to improve military effectiveness, including unmanned aircraft systems, cyber defense systems, and advanced weaponry.

Military strategy and tactics: The study of how military forces are organized, operated, and deployed in combat situations.
Weapons systems: The development and utilization of various weapons platforms, from small arms to advanced aircraft carriers.
Cybersecurity and information technology: The protection of military networks and data, as well as the development of new technologies to improve security.
Logistics and supply chain management: The planning and execution of the movement of personnel, equipment, and supplies around the world.
Military leadership and management: Training and education of military personnel in leadership, management, and decision-making.
Military history: The study of past conflicts and military organizations to gain insights into current issues and future trends.
Intelligence analysis and operations: The collection and interpretation of information to support operational planning and decision-making.
Defense economics and industry: The role of defense spending and industry in the economy, as well as the acquisition of new technologies and equipment.
Space and missile technologies: The development and deployment of technologies designed to enhance the military's ability to operate in space and use guided missiles.
Human factors and psychology: Understanding the human factors that impact military performance, and how human behavior can be influenced and optimized in a military context.
Weapons technology: Firearms, missiles, missile defense systems, grenades/bombs, tanks, unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), aircraft, naval vessels, and other weapons platforms.
Communication technology: Communication networks, encryption software, and satellite systems used for intelligence gathering and communication in the battlefield.
Cyber technology: The development of computer virus, data gathering systems, and communication networks that help modern militaries stay ahead of new actors in the battlefield.
Intelligence and surveillance technology: Drones, satellite imagery, and other types of reconnaissance technology designed to capture and report on real-time data in hostile environments.
Infrastructure and logistics technology: Equipment and networks to transport supplies and personnel, logistical platforms to operate in the field, and equipment and parts required for maintenance and repair of weapons systems.
- "Military technology is the application of technology for use in warfare."
- "It comprises the kinds of technology that are distinctly military in nature and not civilian in application."
- "Usually because they lack useful or legal civilian applications, or are dangerous to use without appropriate military training."
- "Military inventions have been brought into civilian use throughout history, with sometimes minor modification if any."
- "Civilian innovations have similarly been put to military use."
- "Scientists and engineers specifically for use in battle by the armed forces."
- "Many new technologies came as a result of the military funding of science."
- "Armament engineering is the design, development, testing and lifecycle management of military weapons and systems."
- "It draws on the knowledge of several traditional engineering disciplines, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, electro-optics, aerospace engineering, materials engineering, and chemical engineering."
- "Armament engineering is responsible for the lifecycle management of military weapons and systems."
